RT, GT and GTL models also get the option to have hand-painted pinstripting and have a new glass-ceramaic paint option.

In the same way that BMW’s performance parts range is called HP4, its Spezial trick bits go by the name of Option 719 – a name that comes from the code BMW gives to bikes it builds as one-off specials. Unlike the HP4 range, which is to improve performance, the aim here is to make bikes looks that bit more ‘spezial’.

All parts are developed at BMW. Customers can select from 719 parts using BMW’s online configurator and all bikes are built to order at the factory.
